Flavonoids are pigments in the gadung mango bark that produce a yellow color. The research on copigmentation of flavonoids from gadung mango bark (Mangifera sp) as coloring agents was carried out by the maceration method using 96% ethanol. The extract obtained was concentrated using a vacuum rotary evaporator at 40 oC. The study aimed to determine levels of flavonoids and stability of color gadung mango bark on the inner and outer of the result copigmentation as a coloring agent. Measurement of total flavonoid levels at a wavelength of 520 nm and 700 nm using UV-Vis spectrophotometry. The results of this study indicate that the total flavonoids levels in the inner and outer gadung mango bark samples were 0.162 mg/g and 0.359 mg/g, respectively. The color stability of flavonoids of the gadung mango bark inside and outside as the results of copigmentation was stable at the temperature 35 oC and the results obtained in the color stability test of the hero cloth through washing soap water was with a 0 day in 5 hours.

Abstract

Coconut pulp is a by-product of coconut milk which contains high protein and good nutrition. This study aimed to determine the iron (Fe) and zinc (Zn) levels in coconut pulp flour using atomic absorption spectrophotometry and determine the characteristics of coconut pulp flour using organoleptic tests. The results showed that iron (Fe) level was 44.075 mg/kg and zinc (Zn) was 24.2 mg /kg. The organoleptic characteristics of the pulp were white and brownish for the dry powder, coconut-scented, a powder-shaped texture, and normal taste. The highest percentage level of hedonic scale for each criterion was 64% preferred for color, 52% preferred for aroma, 48% preferred for texture, and 52% preferred for taste. Based on these results, coconut pulp can be an alternative local food to meet iron and zinc needs for humans. The processing of coconut pulp as food can be used as a substitute flour in making bread, cakes, cookies, and other food preparations.

Abstract

Synthesis of activated carbon from cempedak peel waste is carried out to utilize biomass waste. This study aimed to synthesize and characterize activated carbon from cempedak peel waste. The synthesis was carried out by chemical activation using phosphoric acid with a dry impregnation ratio of 1:4 (g sample:g H3PO4). Samples impregnated for 24 hours were then heated at 250℃—and then calcined at 350℃ and 450℃. The XRD and FTIR characterization results indicated that the activated carbon obtained had an amorphous structure and the activated carbon obtained had hydroxyl, carbonyl, and carboxylic groups. Activated carbon with the highest yield was obtained at a temperature of 350, namely 43%. The results of determining the water content of activated carbon obtained are 8.36% at 350 0C and 7.1% at 450 ℃. The value of water content and ash content of activated carbon from the skin of this cempedak fruit has met the Indonesian National Standard (SNI 06-3730-1995). The best-activated carbon yield was at a calcination temperature of 450, with the percentage of adsorption efficiency on methylene blue of 98.88%.

Abstract

Development research has been carried out to produce a high school chemistry learning module that oriented Central Sulawesi’s local wisdom in acid-base solutions. This research was conducted using research and development (R&D) methods. The goal of this study was to ascertain the validity and applicability of the developed learning modules. Development of the learning module is expected to be used by teachers as users and for students in their independent learning, increasing the understanding of concepts and getting to know local wisdom in the Central Sulawesi region. The validity of the learning module was determined by a validation test conducted by specialists in the topic, medium, and user. In contrast, the practicality of the learning module was determined by the outcomes of the module's implementation by students. The validation results showed that the average score of the material expert of 2,66 was categorized as “valid,” the average score of the media expert was 3,29 with the category “valid,” and the average score of the user was 3,53 with the category “valid.” The results implementation of learning modules using students' response questionnaires obtained respectively, a percentage of 29% of students responded was “very practical,” 64,4% of students responded war “practical,” 6% of students responded was “impractical,” and 0% of students respond was “very impractical.” Based on these results, it can be concluded that the development module was “valid” and “practical” in using the learning process.

Abstract

Antioxidant activity test of Ethanol Extract of Ripe and Young Cocoa Pod Skin (Theobroma Cacao L.) with DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl) using UV-Vis spectrophotometer has been carried out. This study aimed to determine the IC50 value of the ethanol extract of ripe cocoa pods and young cocoa pods (Theobroma Cacao L.). The mature and young cocoa pods were extracted using absolute ethanol solvent and tested for their antioxidant activity using DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl). The concentration variations used in the ethanol extract of ripe cocoa pods and young cocoa (Theobroma Cacao L.) were 20 ppm, 40 ppm, 60 ppm, and 80 ppm. The results showed that the IC50 values of the ethanol extract of ripe and young cocoa pods were 76.094 ppm and 91.884 ppm, respectively. Meanwhile, the IC50 value of vitamin C compared was 63.519 ppm. Based on the IC50 value data above, it can be seen that the antioxidant activity of the ethanol extract of young cocoa pods and ripe cocoa pods are potent antioxidants.

Abstract

Clay is one of the essential natural minerals in human life, especially in the industrial sector, which is widely used as a raw material for ceramics fabrication, adsorbents, and photocatalysts. The characteristics of clay significantly affect the quality of the resulting material. This study will study the aspects of natural clay in Gowa Regency, South Sulawesi Province, without the leaching process and with acid leaching. Acid leaching uses 3 M HCl, previously roasted at a temperature of 600 oC. The characterization consisted of metal oxide analysis using XRF, mineral content analysis using XRD, morphological analysis, and compound content using SEM-EDX. The results showed that the primary metal oxide content in natural clay was Fe2O3, Al2O3, and SiO2, the content of Fe2O3 decreased after the raw clay was treated with acid. The main mineral content in the sample is quartz, kaolinite, and hematite. The sample's morphology looks different after being given acid treatment; the acid leaching natural clay sample shows a porous morphology, while the natural clay without acid leaching shows the morphology in the form of lumps. The EDX mapping analysis showed that the number of impurities decreased after being given acid treatment.

Abstract

Varied initial concepts can be an obstacle or support in understanding a new concept. The study of changes in students' chemical concepts was carried out on thermochemical material. This study aimed to examine changes in students' thermochemical concepts in each subject of high, medium, and low ability. Qualitative descriptive research with mixed methods was conducted on SMAN 1 Bumi Raya Morowali, Central Sulawesi students. The study began by giving an initial test to all students of class XI IPA 1 and 2, as many as 60 students, to obtain initial concept data and the basis for grouping subjects on each ability criterion (high, medium, and low). Every two people from each ability group in semi-structured interviews. Thermochemical material is re-taught using a metacognitive skill learning model and given a final test and interview to get concept data after learning to assess conceptual changes. Five concepts become variables in this study: the heat of reaction, enthalpy of reaction in a calorimeter, Hess's law, energy diagrams, and bond energies. The results showed that concept changes occurred in all high, medium, and low ability subjects. Changes in students' conceptions occurred in the concepts of the heat of reaction, reaction enthalpy, calorimeter, Hess's law, energy diagrams, and bond energy. The most significant conceptual change occurred in the subject of medium ability and low ability, namely the concept of bond energy.
